Etown also got wins from six-time All-American Jackie Zimmerman in the 200-yard breaststroke and Lindsay Texter in the 200-yard freestyle.

The Dickinson women trailed 95-93 after ten events but the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Holly Gerhart, Amy Getz, Melissa Shannon and Jana Thompson posted a victory in the night's final event to give the Red Devils the victory.
